Girl Talk: The Perfect Man

Don't we all want the perfect man?



Sorry that this post came late, revising for A-levels has completely taken it's toll on my blogging.

This is not a movie review! I have seen this movie as it is one of my favourites and it made me think about what girls tend to look for in guys. Most of us picture the perfect man. The trouble is, we all think the perfect man is something different.

Some of us think the perfect man is tall, others short. Some of us think the perfect man is blond, others brunette. The only thing we have in common, is that we all want him.

Personally, I believe that all versions of the perfect man exist, and that most of us will find him in one way or another. However, a problem with this view is our expectations of men.

We all believe that we want the perfect man, and we do! Life is too short to waste our time on someone who isn't right for us. However, are our standards too high?

We'll dump a guy who's not the right height, a guy with a crap job, a guy with a horrible fashion sense. What most of us don't realise is that, out of every guy that we ever date in our lives, 100% of them will have at least one flaw. Why are we so quick to judge guys on this one flaw? Because we deserve the best, the one person with no flaws. But we shouldn't hold our breath, because he doesn't exist!

For this post, I'm not going to tell you how to find the perfect man, I'm going to give you tips on how to find your perfect man.

Tips to find your perfect man:

Know who you are:

This includes flaws. You can't find someone to love you for you if you don't know who you are. You need to accept yourself. Know your likes and dislikes, and own your flaws. That's right, own them! Everyone has things that they're uncomfortable about, but if you ignore them, they'll only get bigger. Once you have accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you.

Don't ignore his flaws:

The same goes for him, if you ignore his flaws, they'll just get bigger in your head. If you want to make your relationship work, you have to accept your other half, flaws especially. Flaws are what make them who they are, nobody's perfect.
 
Don't move too fast:
Don't expect to find your perfect man as soon as you start to look for him. It could take years for you to meet the person that completes you, but don't give up looking just because it takes a long time. Your only young once, but your young for long enough to make a few mistakes, you're human.

The Usual Suspects | 100 Movies Bucket List

  This is the second movie for the bucket list that I forgot to write a post for! I saw this back in May so my memory might be a bit rusty, but it was a re-watch so I'm pretty clear on the plot and how I feel about it. I liked this movie. I probably liked it the same amount this time that I did on my first watch. It's a great story, told in a really interesting way. And while I probably didn't find it completely interesting the whole way through, it was worth it to get to the twist. For me, a plot twist is such an underrated device. I love them so much I actively seek them out in both movies and books. A good plot twist can make an otherwise bad movie re-watch-worthy. There are a few twisty movies on the bucket list, and this one has one of the best twists. Even if you don't like the movie as a whole, the twist makes everything so much more interesting. Another thing the twist does is make you want to watch the film all over again. I saw it months ago now, and I really

Subservience | Film Review

While struggling with a sick wife and two children, Nick (Michele Morrone) hires an AI android called Alice (Megan Fox) to help out around the house. But when Alice becomes self-aware, Nick finds that he and his family are suddenly in danger. I've watched a few AI-based horror movies in the last month or so, so I was in the mood to give another one a shot. As I'd somewhat enjoyed the others, I thought I'd like this one too. Unfortunately, I didn't like this one much at all. For a start (and this is my fault as I've already mentioned seeing a few films with this concept recently) but the AI-gone-bad premise is no longer new. And when a film uses the concept but doesn't bring any new ideas, it starts feeling a bit stale. This one didn't really have anything new to add to that conversation, and so it didn't feel original. Having said that, I did like that it got right into the story straight away. We know the family, we know their circumstances, we know how

Woman of the Hour | Film Review

  Amidst a series of murders in LA, aspiring actress Cheryl (Anna Kendrick) crosses paths with a serial killer (Daniel Zovatto) on a dating show. I was really excited to see this film as soon as I saw the trailer. Even in that short space of time it got across a tense, sinister atmosphere that made the film seem like a really interesting watch, especially being a true story. Thankfully I loved the film, and the atmosphere it created was part of the reason why. From the first scene we understand the tone and can already kind of guess how the rest of the film will feel. The tension was created expertly. There were multiple times while watching the film where I was holding my breath without realising, and this feeling didn't go away until the film was over. In the last 30 minutes particularly, I actually had to pause the film to remind myself to breathe because it was that intense. Those 30 minutes were so well written and crafted - I don't think I've even seen a full-on horro

Little Miss Sunshine | 100 Movies Bucket List

  The next bucket list pick was a much-anticipated re-watch! I left this one for the bottom half of the list, like a good few others, so I could have something to look forward to towards the end. This is such a lovely film! I was actually really surprised to see it on the bucket list. I knew it was very well-liked by both critics and fans, but I had no idea it had been nominated for (and won) Oscars, so that was a nice surprise. The comedy genre is really sparse on the list, and while this is also a drama, it's so nice to have something light-hearted here - especially because light-hearted films like this can often provoke a bigger emotional reaction than intense dramas. For me, as good as the direction and writing of the film is, the best thing about it is the characters and the actors who play them. This family feels like a real family from their first moment on screen. The characters are all written really authentically, they compliment each other and the actors had great chemis

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next on the list was 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'. This isn't one I was particularly looking forward to.  I've never been a huge fan of Westerns, so watching what is probably the most famous Western for 2 and a half hours wasn't high on my to-do list.  But because of that, it was actually a much more intriguing watch than I thought it would be. It took me quite a while to really get into it, but once I got the plot and focused on it, I found the story was a great one. What made it great for me more than anything was the characters. I really enjoyed watching them interact. And as someone who had only seen Clint Eastwood in 'The Bridges of Madison County' and 'Million Dollar Baby' before this, I definitely gained a newfound respect for him as an actor. Whenever I think of Westerns, my mind instantly goes to 'Back to the Future 3', even though the actual movies aren't like this in any way. But this movie was the first to directly remind
